For months, we've said that record profits mean record contracts.
And UAW family, our Stand Up Strike has delivered, Shawn Fain, UAW President, via X.
Jim Farley, Ford CEO and president,
also confirmed the tentative deal.
We are pleased to have reached a tentative agreement on a new labor contract with the UAW covering our U.S. operations, Jim Farley, Ford CEO and president, via statement.
I applaud the UAW and Ford for coming together after a hard fought, good faith negotiation and reaching a historic tentative agreement tonight, President Joe Biden, via statement.
This tentative agreement is a testament to the power of employers and employees coming together to work out their differences at the bargaining table in a manner that helps businesses succeed while helping workers secure pay and benefits they can raise a family on and retire with dignity and respect, President Joe Biden, via statement.
Under the new deal, UAW
Vice President Chuck Browning said, .
"UAW members at Ford will receive
more and straight general wage increases
over the next four-and-a-half years than
we have over the last 22 years combined.".
Over the course of the contract, temporary workers
would see wage increases of over 150%.
Union workers would also reserve the "right to
strike over plant closures," CBS News reports.
.
Now, Ford's 75,000 UAW workers
must approve the deal
Ford Orders Recall , Over Potential SUV Gas Leak.
ABC reports that Ford has ordered
a recall for almost 43,000 small SUVs
due to a potential risk of fire. .
The recall impacts some Bronco
Sport SUVs from 2022 and 2023,
as well as 2022's Escape SUVs. .
According to Ford, gasoline can leak from
fuel injectors near or onto hot engine surfaces,
which increases the risk of starting fires.
The recall does not reportedly include repairing
any potential fuel leak, which the company
claims only impacts about 1% of their SUVs.
ABC reports that Michael Brooks, executive director
of the nonprofit Center for Auto Safety,
has called Ford's decision a "Band-aid type recall.".
Brooks claims that even a 1% failure
rate is high and places drivers
at potential risk for a crash.
The NHTSA said that it lacks legal
authority to pre-approve recall fixes. .
The agency added that it would, "closely track their performance using field data.".
However, Brooks suggests that Congress
needs to change laws so that the NHTSA can , "require something more than the rubber
stamp that NHTSA is currently deploying.ā.
That is a post-remedy inquiry
that won't make the fixes better,
and further stretches out the process
and leaves consumers in limbo. , Michael Brooks, executive director of the
nonprofit Center for Auto Safety, via ABC

are done and how things go on. , Zach Costello, a worker at the Volkswagen
plant in Chattanooga since 2017, to 'The Guardian'.
Our lives are at work and if our lives
spend so much time at work and we

On May 15, President Biden revealed that he agreed to an offer from CNN to debate Donald Trump and then challenged his predecessor to do the same.
Iāve received and accepted an invitation
from @CNN for a debate on June 27th.
Over to you, Donald. As you said:
anywhere, any time, any place, President Joe Biden, via X.
Donald Trump lost two debates to
me in 2020. Since then he hasnāt shown
up for a debate. Now heās acting like
he wants to debate me again, President Joe Biden, via video message.
Well, make my day, pal, Iāll even do it
twice. So letās pick the dates, Donald ā
I hear youāre free on Wednesdays, President Joe Biden, via video message.
Trump took to Truth Social to respond.
I am Ready and Willing to Debate
Crooked Joe at the two proposed
times in June and September, Donald Trump, via Truth Social.

According to Biden campaign chair
Jen O'Malley Dillion, those dates are
"out of step with changes in the structure of our elections and the interests of voters.".
Trump went on to say that he'd like
to debate Biden more than twice.
I would strongly recommend more
than two debates and, for excitement
purposes, a very large venue, although
Biden is supposedly afraid of crowds - , Donald Trump, via Truth Social.
Thatās only because he doesnāt get
them. Just tell me when, Iāll be
there. 'Letās get ready to Rumble!!!', Donald Trump, via Truth Social.

Ukrainian officials press Biden to lift the ban on using U.S. arms against Russia, citing hindrance in targeting Russian forces near Kharkiv. Russian incursion sees tens of thousands of troops moving in, outmatching stretched Ukrainian forces. Despite observing Russian buildup, Ukraine couldn't strike due to U.S. policy. Officials meet U.S. lawmakers to seek support.

āNew York Timesā Poll , Indicates Trouble for Biden.
Donald Trump was found to be "leading in
five out of six swing states," 'The Hill' reports. .
Wisconsin is the only swing
state where Biden is leading.
In 2020, Biden won all six swing states.
The May 13 poll also indicated that support for Biden is dwindling among young voters,
as well as Black and Hispanic voters.
Whatās so impressive about this is
polls have historically underestimated
Trumpās support, not overestimated
Trumpās support, Ford OāConnell, a Republican strategist, via 'The Hill'.
And then if you couple this poll
with nearly 100,000 people
showing up in Arctic blue New
Jersey, this is a disaster for Biden, Ford OāConnell, a Republican strategist, via 'The Hill'.

Biden supporters, however, say that polling conducted this far away from election day should be taken with a grain of salt.
The only consistency in recent
public polls is inconsistency. , Geoff Garin, Biden campaign pollster, via 'The Hill'.
These results need to be weighed against
the 30-plus polls that show Biden up and
gaining ā which is exactly why drawing
broad conclusions about the race based
on results from one poll is a mistake. , Geoff Garin, Biden campaign pollster, via 'The Hill'.
The reality is that many voters are not paying
close attention to the election and have not
started making up their minds ā a dynamic
also reflected in todayās poll. , Geoff Garin, Biden campaign pollster, via 'The Hill'.
These voters will decide this election,
and only the Biden campaign is doing
the work to win them over, Geoff Garin, Biden campaign pollster, via 'The Hill'
